No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Leeholme
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Leeholme. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Leeholme and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
